Situation Awareness

Today I bought 1 contract of SPXW 7600p 9/16 at $15/contract, sold at $16/contract, 7600p rose to $100/contract, finally stopped at $48.2/contract; I also bought 1 contract of SPXW 7510c 9/16 at $17.6/contract, sold at $18.7/contract, 7510c rose to $50/contract at one point, finally stopped at $41.8/contract.

The great situational awareness didn’t translate to more profit from the volatile 0DTE options market; the heavy positioning led to flawed execution. My mentality is still that of a typical retail investor.
